Disk spurring on an MRI of the spine refers to the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes) that develop around the intervertebral discs, often as a result of degeneration or wear and tear. This condition can indicate underlying issues such as disc degeneration or Arthritis in the spine. These spurs may contribute to nerve compression or spinal stenosis, potentially leading to pain or neurological symptoms. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and symptoms, ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention.

What is central and right posterolateral disc protrusion spur complex?
It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
Can an x-ray image the discs in spine?
No. Only the spaces where the disks are. And MRI or CT scan can actually image the disk itself.
Can you have a MRI with harrington rods in lumbar spine?
Yes you can have an MRI with Harrinton rod in your lumbar spine. Harrington rods are made of titanium making it safe to enter an MRI Scanner.
Is contrast always used for MRI of spine?
No, usually contrast agents are not used for MRI of the spine. The most frequent pathology when an spine MRI is requested si discal hernia (lombosciatic, disc protrusion). Then another pathology is searched and/or discovered (tumors, bone lesions), than contrast agent is required for a correct diagnosis.
What does rule out HNP mean when they request it on a cervical mri?
"Rule out HNP" means check to see if there's a disk herniation in the neck.
What does the bone marrow signal intensity of the vertebrae is unremarkable on a cervical MRI mean?
It means that everything is the way it should be in your cervical spine. Nothing is wrong.
What does paravertebral soft tissue grossly unremarkable on a MRI of Lumbar Spine?
It means the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your lower back are normal on MRI.
Where are MRI's particularly useful?
MRI is particularly useful for imaging the brain and spine, as well as the soft tissues of joints and the interior structure of bones.
Cost of cervical spine MRI in southern California?
Contact Medical Discounts, just search Discount MRI's and you will pay $380 if you book through them.
Can you take an mri of the cervical spine on one day and an mri of the brain the next day?
Yes. There's no real limit to how many MRIs you can have because there's no radiation involved - it uses powerful magnets. The only thing is that a cervical spine MRI and a brain MRI all at the same time might take quite a while so it's senisible to space it out a bit.
What mri is best for spine?
The best MRI for spine imaging is typically a high-field MRI (1.5T or 3T) with dedicated spine coils. These provide high-resolution images that can effectively visualize the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues. The use of specific sequences, such as T1 and T2-weighted images, enhances the clarity of abnormalities like herniated discs, tumors, or degenerative changes. Additionally, contrast-enhanced MRI can be beneficial for assessing certain conditions.
